Metaphor: ReFantazio (PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PS4) (October 11, 2024)

Not gonna lie...demo is convincing me. I'm liking the characters so far and the combat works as you'd expect it.

It's definitely medieval Persona but I'm liking it. The further away from High School, the better


Only real gripe are the graphics at times. No performance dips yet but some of these textures are low res

Maybe the final game will be better and the Pro is on the horizon

I'm at the Nord mines in the demo. It's a little slow/boring to me ngl. It's decent quality wise though. Image quality seems worse than Persona 5 so far.

demo is long as shyt had to call it right before the cathedral mission. the download is the full game with a 5hr lock it looks like.

i'm feeling it heavy. some of the later story scenes were abit much. made me feel like some things are gonna be left unexplained. could be GOTY for me though. definitely a day one cop. the performance is what it is honestly.. framerate slipping and sliding like a water park in certain areas. some blurriness as well due to the effects on screen.. really just seems like they just tried to shove it all in instead of upgrading the engine.

gonna wrap up episode aigis and put my preorder in! a real next level JRPG imo. i thought P3R was gonna be the top this year.

Enjoyed the demo they wasn’t kidding when they said it’s a lot darker than persona series. It would have been great if the aesthetic for the archetypes were different despite changing classes to offer some individuality to the team when multiple people have the the same class.

I just got to the cathedral after the assassination attempt. Idk man this game just isn't really clicking for me. It's like it feels a tad bit under cooked. The presentation and gameplay feels a slight bit unpolished. It's objectively good but idk. I'm 3 hours in on the demo and i just haven't gotten hooked in yet.

Played one hour and I think it's pretty good. I was getting burned out on Persona and the school shyt.

Yea, I hope the next one aint taken place in a high school. Although they will probably remake P4G first.

Ehh not really. That's some background stuff but the story ain't about that.

I'm at the cathedral with Hulkenberg and so far none of the character "awakenings" or moments in the game have had any impact on me. It's weird because when you first get awakenings in characters like Joker, Ryuji, or Makatoin Persona 5, it felt impactful because it was like they were at their lowest at the moment. In this, it just happens out of nowhere with no buildup. The whole time I've been playing this I'm like . I'm gonna finish the demo but so far I'm shocked that this game hasn't really grabbed me yet. It's like a 7/10 for me. Even the the battle music is kind of meh imo. The main menu music is great though. I don't think Shoji Meguro will let me down but we'll see...

5 hours in on this demo and there's STILL more?

i just recruited Hulkenberg. I'm done until the full game
